I stood there and pulled my head up. Vi was right in front of me, wearing her normal comfortable clothes, All black hoodie and sweat pants with pink sneakers. She smiled at me, put her hands in her pockets, and turned around. "Umm... what are you waiting for?" Taliyah asked me. I sighed and let go of her. "What were you looking at? It look like you seen a damn ghost." Well might as well let her know who just showed their face.
"My wife is here." You would think Taliyah would of been shocked... but no instead she rolled her eyes.
"I am going to put this crap to rest, where did she go?!" She asked. I pointed forward and she waved her hand for me to lead the way. I have a feeling that things are about to go south so fast. We walked through the arcade machines and random people until I saw Vi's pink hair. She was playing a racing game... and her form was just like how she drove her car. One hand on the steering wheel, the other on the gear shift.
She had such a... mean look on her face...
fuck... I didn't have a feeling of fear... oh no... I had a feeling of attraction. She looks so damn sexy right now playing the racing game. I took a deep breath as we got closer to her, I need to hide any type of feelings or she will notice. She needs to understand that we are separated and I don't want to see her. Taliyah walked right up to her and with no hesitation grabbed onto the steering wheel. Vi slowly looked up at her and her facial expressions went from sexy to "I am going to punch you" in a matter of seconds. "So you are Anthony's wife? The same woman who cheated on him? And for some reason you have the nerve to show your face while we are on our date?"
This is a date?
Vi forcefully moved the black steering wheel to the left as the game told her she finished in first place. She let go of the steering wheel and got out of her chair. She waved to me but I didn't wave back. She licked her lips at me and I didn't even budge. I know she knows that I am playing hard to get... but I can tell by the end of this she will break my walls. Vi turned her body to address Taliyah. "Yeah, I acted like ah slut and fucked anotha' guy. I regret that shit every day like ah mothafucka'."
The face Taliyah made was nothing more than disgusted. "Why do you talk as if you don't have an education? Second you cheated on him but your tone sounds like you don't even care. Lastly... I remember you... You were the ugly girl who played basketball with us all those years ago." Taliyah sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Are you serious Anthony? You chose this woman over me?"
I didn't respond. Instead I put my hands in my hoodie pockets and kept quiet. I did not want to get in the middle of these two.
"Look, I am tryin' to be mo' mature fo him. So Imma' just leave yall alone. My bad for interruptin' yall date." Vi took one more look at me and turned around.
Huh... didn't expect that.
"No, you think it's going to be that easy? You think just because you walk away that you won't come back?" Vi stopped in her tracks and turned around. "I am planning on taking him with me back to Shurima. I want him to have a better life or rather the life he was made for. So, let's end this now shall we?" Taliyah grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her. "I want you to end this failing marriage tonight. You came here to win back him right?"
Vi gave a small but didn't move.
"Nah, I just wanna see him. It's hard to stay at the house when my everythang is here. My bad."
I almost smiled.
Taliyah rolled her eyes and continued. "So, let's have a little competition. We will have one hour each. Who ever he kisses first will take him home. Who ever doesn't will never see him again. Do you accept?" Vi smiled and shook her head yes. "So let's begin. I will go first, cheaters go second." Vi snickered and shook her head. Taliyah pulled my hand as we walked away from Vi. Vi gave me the peace sign as she turned around.
Taliyah walked me to the second floor. She suddenly stopped and turned around to face me. "So, let's makes this easier on both of us. Kiss me."
I didn't budge. "No, you need to work for it. I won't hand myself over so easily no matter how I feel. I still love Vi but you are right, our marriage is failing. So I'll give you a chance." Taliyah rolled her eyes and grabbed my hand again. She took a deep breath and let go of my hand. "How can I work for it?" She asked. How am I supposed to know that?
"I don't know." I answered.
"Well let's go back to the moment before she she showed up. Why did you freeze up before your lips touched mine?" She asked. Why did I freeze up? I couldn't get Vi out of mind that she was appearing as a damn ghost following me. Now since she is here... my mind is normal again. As cliche as that is I am happy it is normal. Second thing is... I think I almost kissed her because of feelings.
"I'll be honest, I almost kissed you because Vi cheated on me. If she didn't cheat on me, we wouldn't be here. But... honestly you can try and win me over. You can try and seduce me but I doubt... it's going to work."
"Pfft, why would you doubt me? I know what you like idiot." I rolled my eyes on that one.
"A lot has changed. You did set it off for the type of girls I like but look at you Taliyah. You aren't boyish anymore."
"Why would I be? Don't you want a feminine woman? Isn't that the natural way of thinking?"
"Not for me. I learned that... I love girls like that. We used to always play, wrestle, do all sorts of stuff as kids, but now that you grown up... it feels weird. I don't think I am attracted to trophies at all. I will tell you the truth, I don't even get horny around you." The shocked expression on her face almost made me laugh.
"That makes no sense. You are telling me you want a girl that has muscles, looks like a dyke, plays video games, all of that crap? I am surprised you aren't gay." I actually snorted.
"Well count me lucky. Like I said you can try, but I doubt it's going to work." She rolled her eyes again and sighed.
"Well let's try. I know you have to have feelings for me somewhere in that heart."
The attempts she made... honestly felt so weird. She was treating as if I was the lead. I am used to getting lead on. She wanted me to hold her, hold her hand, make moves, it felt so alien to me. Once she figured out that it didn't work, she tried acting boyish. This ultimately failed because she didn't even understand how women could act like a guy and romance another guy. Taliyah gave up and we walked around to find Vi.
"Well, I tried, but I know you wouldn't kiss the whore. So no one wins right?"
She has a point.
I am still acting hard to get but knowing my wife, she has something under her skin. We found Vi at a pool table by herself. Man... the way she was bending over the fucking table...
STOP IT.
"Damn it's been ah hour already?" She asked.
"No shit you slut, now it's your turn, but I am going to watch." Vi didn't return the insult, instead she laughed it off.
"Shieeet you can watch if you want." Vi put all of the balls in the holes and placed her pool stick onto the table. "Let's get crackin."
Vi stepped up to me and asked a simple question. "Yo, you wanna play Tekken?" She asked.
"I don't want to do anything with you Vi, you shouldn't even be here. This whole thing we are doing is dumb." I admitted. Vi smiled and slowly reached for my hand. I pulled it back, but she kept going for it. "Stop." She didn't stop. "Vi, stop it!" Of course she didn't.
"Stop that bullshit. You kno' you wanna hold my hand."
No, don't give her what she wants.
Vi reached for my hand again but I rejected it. "Damn you really playin' hard to get right now huh?" She asked.
"Yeah there is no way for you to win him over." Taliyah said. Again Vi shrugged it off and put her hands in her pockets. "Well fuck it. Imma' play Tekken by myself." She walked over to the arcade machines, swiped her card and sat down. A few seconds later a tall guy, purple hair, pink cat ears, slim figure with a built upper body, wearing blue jeans, red hoodie and red shoes took a seat by her.
"Damn girl, what is your name? You here by yourself?" He asked. He was a pretty boy with a gold chain around his neck and flashy earrings.
"Yea, my name Vi. My boyfriend done broke up with me. Shit crazy out hea'."
No, just leave it alone. She needs to work to get you, you are the prize.
"Well my name is Sett, nice to meet your fine ass. You play this shit? I like games like this." Looking at this made my blood boil a little.
"Wow, now she is showing her hoe nature right in front of you." Taliyah said. I sighed and took a seat right behind him at an empty table. They were playing, laughing, and of course Vi beat him.
"Damn girl, you good at this game! You know I am here by myself, you want to play more games together?" Sett asked.
Stop looking over there, she is just hyping this up so you could...
"Yeah. I need to have some fun. My guy probably found some otha' chick to fuck wit. He prob don't give ah fuck anymo'. What'cha tryna' play bro?" She asked.
"Man, I love girls like you, your personalty, your slang, shit boyish girls like you make me melt." Vi giggled at him as both of them stood up. Soon after a few more words... they were gone.
My heart hurts.
All of my emotions came back... and I couldn't stop my eyes from watering.
"Are you crying over her? Are you serious?" I didn't say anything. "Anthony, get a grip, she is nothing but a..."
I had enough of her bullshit.
"WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHIT MAN."
Her face... was nothing more than priceless.
"LIKE NO SHIT SHE IS A HOE! SHIT. FUCK. FUCK THIS. FUCK YOU. FUCK HER."
I got up, didn't look back, and walked outside. I quickly walked, turned a corner and sat down on to the concrete, my back against the wall.
I cried... and cried... and cried...
She ran off with another guy AGAIN.
After a few minute of crying my eyes out, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up and it was Vi holding her hand out. "I anit think you would start cryin' and shit haha."
She's laughing? I slapped her hand away and it somehow made her laugh even harder. "WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING YOU WHORE!? YOU JUST WANNA FUCK ALL THE GUYS!"
This time she laughed EVEN HARDER.
"Baby, I didn't run off with another guy. I payed him to act interested you idiot."
Suddenly... my crying stopped, my throat cleared up, and my heart beat went normal again. "Wha... why?" I asked.
"Well one, I did it because I knew you was gonna act hard and shit. Deep down I saw those looks you was givin' me. You wanna fuck me so bad it's written all ova' yo face baby. Second that bitch you was wit' was gettin' on my damn nerves. She anit yo friend. She didn't even check on yo ass after you screamed at ha. She mad because she can't pull yo ass like I can. Also she just left right after you. Third I really expected you to come and save me from him but damn you really be holdin' out."
Oh.
I stayed silent as Vi grabbed my arm and pulled me up. She grabbed my hand and made sure to squeeze it tight. We walked to her car, she let go of my hand and unlocked her doors. She opened her side but I didn't open mines. "Get in, it's cold as shit out hea and you gone catch a cold." I opened my side and got in. She turned her car on and the heat blasted me in my face. Vi locked her doors, grabbed my hand again, took her other hand and pulled my hoodie. My body turned to her and she was close as fuck to my face.
She let go and put one hand on the back of my head and one onto my crotch.
I was hard as fuck.
"Kiss me but don't be on that bullshit. I kno' you don't wanna play into my hands but baby yo face say it all. When we get home Imma' feed yo sexual appetite til' the sun come up.
...
...
...
I... teared up again as Vi pushed my head towards her. Our lips collided and my tears fell onto my jeans and the arm rest.
I can't... stop... loving her.
I love Vi.
and she loves me.
